DECA is a high school marketing organization that helps students get a better understanding of the marketing and business fields. Within this organization, you learn about marketing strategies, business etiquette, and other business-related topics. It is a great organization for those who want to be business majors and gets you a step ahead before you enter college life.

One of the best and most exciting events I was able to participate in this year with DECA was a leadership conference in Orlando, Florida. During this conference, the members of DECA were given the privilege to listen to various speakers share their experiences and give knowledge about their career path. It was so interesting to listen to everything that goes into running a business. You’d be shocked to hear about all of the things that go on behind the scenes.

The entire trip was an outstanding learning experience. If I had the choice to do it all over again, I would. I highly recommend future marketing and/or business majors to be a part of this organization. DECA will bring out the best in you.
